| | | * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()Oleg Nesterov2011-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In short, almost every changing of current->blocked is wrong, or at least can lead to the unexpected results. For example. Two threads T1 and T2, T1 sleeps in sigtimedwait/pause/etc. kill(tgid, SIG) can pick T2 for TIF_SIGPENDING. If T2 calls sigprocmask() and blocks SIG before it notices the pending signal, nobody else can handle this pending shared signal. I am not sure this is bug, but at least this looks strange imho. T1 should not sleep forever, there is a signal which should wake it up. This patch moves the code which actually changes ->blocked into the new helper, set_current_blocked() and changes this code to call retarget_shared_pending() as exit_signals() does. We should only care about the signals we just blocked, we use "newset & ~current->blocked" as a mask. We do not check !sigisemptyset(newblocked), retarget_shared_pending() is cheap unless mask & shared_pending. Note: for this particular case we could simply change sigprocmask() to return -EINTR if signal_pending(), but then we should change other callers and, more importantly, if we need this fix then set_current_blocked() will have more callers and some of them can't restart. See the next patch as a random example. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

We can read current->block lockless, nobody else can ever change this mask. 2. Calculate the resulting sigset_t outside of ->siglock into the temporary variable, then take ->siglock and change ->blocked. Also, kill the stale comment about BKL.

We can avoid the while_each_thread() loop in case when there are no shared signals visible to us. Add the "shared_pending.signal & ~blocked" check. We don't use tsk->blocked directly but pass ~blocked as an argument, this is needed for the next patch. Note: we can optimize this more. while_each_thread(t) can check t->blocked into account and stop after every pending signal has the new target, see the next patch.

Like SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can be false-positive after return from get_signal_to_deliver(), this is fine. The only purpose of this bit is: we can drop ->siglock after __dequeue_signal() returns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call do_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT if it comes in between. But, unlike SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can not be false-positive in do_signal_stop() if multiple threads dequeue the sig_kernel_stop() signal at the same time. Consider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder. - T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then it drops ->siglock - SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP should be cancelled. - T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again. Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns to usermode to run the handler. - T1 continues, calls do_signal_stop() and wrongly starts the group stop because SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED was restored in between. With or without this change: - we need to do something with ptrace_signal() which can return SIGSTOP, but this needs another discussion - SIGSTOP can be lost if it races with the mt exec, will be fixed later.

No need to do task_clear_group_stop_pending() when we start the new group stop. Add a small comment to explain the !task_is_stopped() check. Note that this check is not exactly right and it can lead to unnecessary stop later if the thread is TASK_PTRACED. What we need is task_participated_in_group_stop(), this will be solved later.

We are going to call complete_signal() which should pick the right thread correctly. All we need is to wake up the TASK_STOPPED threads. If the task was stopped, it can't return to usermode without taking ->siglock. Otherwise we don't care, and the spurious TIF_SIGPENDING can't be useful. The comment says: * If there is a handler for SIGCONT, we must make * sure that no thread returns to user mode before * we post the signal It is not clear what this means. Probably, "when there's only a single thread" and this continues to be true. Otherwise, even if this SIGCONT is not private, with or without this change only one thread can dequeue SIGCONT, other threads can happily return to user mode before before that thread handles this signal. Note also that wake_up_state(t, __TASK_STOPPED) can't race with the task which changes its state, TASK_STOPPED state is protected by ->siglock as well. In short: when it comes to signal delivery, SIGCONT is the normal signal and does not need any special support. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With recent changes, job control and ptrace stopped states are properly separated and accessible to the real parent and the ptracer respectively; however, notifications of job control stopped/continued events to the real parent while ptraced are still missing. A ptracee participates in group stop in ptrace_stop() but the completion isn't notified. If participation results in completion of group stop, notify the real parent of the event. The ptrace and group stops are separate and can be handled as such. However, when the real parent and the ptracer are in the same thread group, only the ptrace stop event is visible through wait(2) and the duplicate notifications are different from the current behavior and are confusing. Suppress group stop notification in such cases. The continued state is shared between the real parent and the ptracer but is only meaningful to the real parent. Always notify the real parent and notify the ptracer too for backward compatibility. Similar to stop notification, if the real parent is the ptracer, suppress a duplicate notification. Test case follows. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int main(void) { const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 }; pid_t tracee, tracer; siginfo_t si; int i; tracee = fork(); if (tracee == 0) { while (1) { printf("tracee: SIGSTOP\n"); raise(SIGSTOP); nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); printf("tracee: SIGCONT\n"); raise(SIGCONT); nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); } } waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG | WNOWAIT); tracer = fork(); if (tracer == 0) { nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); for (i = 0; i < 11; i++) { si.si_pid = 0; waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); if (si.si_pid && si.si_code == CLD_TRAPPED) ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status); } printf("tracer: EXITING\n"); return 0; } while (1) { si.si_pid = 0; waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WCONTINUED | WEXITED); if (si.si_pid) printf("mommy : WAIT status=%02d code=%02d\n", si.si_status, si.si_code); } return 0; } Before this patch, while ptraced, the real parent doesn't get notifications for job control events, so although it can access those events, the later waitid(2) call never wakes up. tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT tracee: SIGSTOP tracee: SIGCONT tracee: SIGSTOP tracee: SIGCONT tracee: SIGSTOP tracer: EXITING mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 ^C After this patch, it works as expected. tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06 tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06 tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06 tracee: SIGSTOP tracer: EXITING mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 ^C -v2: Oleg pointed out that * Group stop notification to the real parent should also happen when ptracer detach races with ptrace_stop(). * real_parent_is_ptracer() should be testing thread group equality not the task itself as wait(2) and stop/cont notifications are normally thread-group wide. Both issues are fixed accordingly. -v3: real_parent_is_ptracer() updated to test child->real_parent instead of child->group_leader->real_parent per Oleg's suggestion.

The one in do_signal_stop() may be delivered to the ptracer if PTRACE_ATTACH races with notification and the one in exit_signals() if task exits while ptraced. In both cases, the notifications are meaningless and confusing to the ptracer as it never accesses the group stop state while the real parent would miss notifications for the events it is watching. Make sure these notifications always go to the real parent by calling do_notify_parent_cld_stop() with %false @for_ptrace.

Move the decision to the caller by adding @for_ptrace parameter to do_notify_parent_cldstop(). All the callers are updated to pass task_ptrace(target_task), so this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference. While at it, add function comment to do_notify_parent_cldstop().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently a real parent can't access job control stopped/continued events through a ptraced child. This utterly breaks job control when the children are ptraced. For example, if a program is run from an interactive shell and then strace(1) attaches to it, pressing ^Z would send SIGTSTP and strace(1) would notice it but the shell has no way to tell whether the child entered job control stop and thus can't tell when to take over the terminal - leading to awkward lone ^Z on the terminal. Because the job control and ptrace stopped states are independent, there is no reason to prevent real parents from accessing the stopped state regardless of ptrace. The continued state isn't separate but ptracers don't have any use for them as ptracees can never resume without explicit command from their ptracers, so as long as ptracers don't consume it, it should be fine. Although this is a behavior change, because the previous behavior is utterly broken when viewed from real parents and the change is only visible to real parents, I don't think it's necessary to make this behavior optional. One situation to be careful about is when a task from the real parent's group is ptracing. The parent group is the recipient of both ptrace and job control stop events and one stop can be reported as both job control and ptrace stops. As this can break the current ptrace users, suppress job control stopped events for these cases. If a real parent ptracer wants to know about both job control and ptrace stops, it can create a separate process to serve the role of real parent. Note that this only updates wait(2) side of things. The real parent can access the states via wait(2) but still is not properly notified (woken up and delivered signal). Test case polls wait(2) with WNOHANG to work around. Notification will be updated by future patches. Test case follows. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int main(void) { const struct timespec ts100ms = { .tv_nsec = 100000000 }; pid_t tracee, tracer; siginfo_t si; int i; tracee = fork(); if (tracee == 0) { while (1) { printf("tracee: SIGSTOP\n"); raise(SIGSTOP); nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); printf("tracee: SIGCONT\n"); raise(SIGCONT); nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); } } waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG | WNOWAIT); tracer = fork(); if (tracer == 0) { nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); for (i = 0; i < 11; i++) { si.si_pid = 0; waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); if (si.si_pid && si.si_code == CLD_TRAPPED) ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status); } printf("tracer: EXITING\n"); return 0; } while (1) { si.si_pid = 0; waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WCONTINUED | WEXITED | WNOHANG); if (si.si_pid) printf("mommy : WAIT status=%02d code=%02d\n", si.si_status, si.si_code); nanosleep(&ts100ms, NULL); } return 0; } Before the patch, while ptraced, the parent can't see any job control events. tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT tracee: SIGSTOP tracee: SIGCONT tracee: SIGSTOP tracee: SIGCONT tracee: SIGSTOP tracer: EXITING mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 ^C After the patch, tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06 tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06 tracee: SIGSTOP mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 tracee: SIGCONT mommy : WAIT status=18 code=06 tracee: SIGSTOP tracer: EXITING mommy : WAIT status=19 code=05 ^C -v2: Oleg pointed out that wait(2) should be suppressed for the real parent's group instead of only the real parent task itself.

However, while ptraced, the stopped state is per-task and as such if the ptracee became a zombie, there's no further stopped event to listen to and wait(2) and friends should return -ECHILD on the tracee. Fix it by clearing notask_error only if WCONTINUED | WEXITED is set for ptraced zombies. While at it, document why clearing notask_error is safe for each case. Test case follows. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <time.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> static void *nooper(void *arg) { pause(); return NULL; } int main(void) { const struct timespec ts1s = { .tv_sec = 1 }; pid_t tracee, tracer; siginfo_t si; tracee = fork(); if (tracee == 0) { pthread_t thr; pthread_create(&thr, NULL, nooper, NULL); nanosleep(&ts1s, NULL); printf("tracee exiting\n"); pthread_exit(NULL); /* let subthread run */ } tracer = fork(); if (tracer == 0) { ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); while (1) { if (waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED) < 0) { perror("waitid"); break; } ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status); } return 0; } waitid(P_PID, tracer, &si, WEXITED); kill(tracee, SIGKILL); return 0; } Before the patch, after the tracee becomes a zombie, the tracer's waitid(WSTOPPED) never returns and the program doesn't terminate. tracee exiting ^C After the patch, tracee exiting triggers waitid() to fail. tracee exiting waitid: No child processes -v2: Oleg pointed out that exited in addition to continued can happen for ptraced dead group leader. Clear notask_error for ptraced child on WEXITED too. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

If the task receives another stop signal in this state, it will still initiate group stop, which generates group_exit_code, which the real parent would be able to see once the ptracer detaches. In this scenario, the real parent may see two consecutive CLD_STOPPED events from two stop signals without intervening SIGCONT, which normally is impossible. Test case follows. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> int main(void) { pid_t tracee; siginfo_t si; tracee = fork(); if (!tracee) while (1) pause(); kill(tracee, SIGSTOP); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); if (!fork()) { ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, NULL, (void *)(long)si.si_status); waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, tracee, NULL, NULL); return 0; } while (1) { si.si_pid = 0; waitid(P_PID, tracee, &si, WSTOPPED | WNOHANG); if (si.si_pid) printf("st=%02d c=%02d\n", si.si_status, si.si_code); } return 0; } Before the patch, the latter waitid() in polling mode reports the second stopped event generated by the implied SIGSTOP of PTRACE_ATTACH. st=19 c=05 ^C After the patch, the second event is not reported.

The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task manipulates the state of another task directly. With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and TRACED can be made clean. The tracer can use the flag to tell the tracee to retry stop on attach and detach. On retry, the tracee will enter the desired state in the correct way. The lower 16bits of task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused the last group stop. This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by then. As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop(). This is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop. If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the following request to fail with -ESRCH. This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit. Completing the transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer. Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the reverse transition is visible to all. Please read the comments for details. Oleg: * Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without proper bookkeeping. Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry. * Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several different ways. Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING. Unhandled corner case is documented. * Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped task would result in more consistent behavior. * Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach(). ptrace_stop() is now called with TASK_RUNNING. * Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait. * Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of TRAPPING.

However, in addition to stopping, ptrace_stop() also does ptrace specific stuff like calling architecture specific callbacks, so this behavior makes the code more fragile and difficult to understand. This patch makes do_signal_stop() test whether the task is ptraced and use ptrace_stop() if so. This renders tracehook_notify_jctl() rather pointless as the ptrace notification is now handled by ptrace_stop() regardless of the return value from the tracehook. It probably is a good idea to update it. This doesn't solve the whole problem as tasks already in stopped state would stay in the regular stop when ptrace attached. That part will be handled by the next patch. Oleg pointed out that this makes a userland-visible change. Before, SIGCONT would be able to wake up a task in group stop even if the task is ptraced if the tracer hasn't issued another ptrace command afterwards (as the next ptrace commands transitions the state into TASK_TRACED which ignores SIGCONT wakeups). With this and the next patch, SIGCONT may race with the transition into TASK_TRACED and is ignored if the tracee already entered TASK_TRACED. Another userland visible change of this and the next patch is that the ptracee's state would now be TASK_TRACED where it used to be TASK_STOPPED, which is visible via fs/proc.

This is unnecessary and inaccurate. Make it only participate if the task is trapping for group stop - ie. if @why is CLD_STOPPED. As ptrace_stop() currently is not used when trapping for group stop, this equals to disabling group stop participation from ptrace_stop(). A visible behavior change is increased likelihood of delayed group stop completion if the thread group contains one or more ptraced tasks. This is to preapre for further cleanup of the interaction between group stop and ptrace.

However, if there is a task in the group which is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group stop is complete. Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to the ptraced task in any other state. This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task is yet to stop for the group stop in progress. The flag is set when a group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should participate in a group stop needs to be determined. Note that now tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop. This results in the following behavior changes. * For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop reported. * A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the tracer would get the notification. However, as a ptraced task could be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group stop, the notification may still be missing. These will be addressed with further patches. * A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery. Group stop code handles this correctly. Oleg: * Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set. Fixed by updating recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of group_stop_count. * Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared. Fixed accordingly. * Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and RUNNING and the last behavior change.

It's initialized to the number of tasks which need to stop for group stop to finish and each stopping or trapping task decrements. However, each task doesn't keep track of whether it decremented the counter or not and if woken up before the group stop is complete and stops again, it can decrement the counter multiple times. Please consider the following example code. static void *worker(void *arg) { while (1) ; return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t thread; pid_t pid; int i; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) pthread_create(&thread, NULL, worker, NULL); while (1) ; return 0; } ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL); while (1) { waitid(P_PID, pid, NULL, WSTOPPED); ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, NULL, (void *)(long)SIGSTOP); } return 0; } The child creates five threads and the parent continuously traps the first thread and whenever the child gets a signal, SIGSTOP is delivered. If an external process sends SIGSTOP to the child, all other threads in the process should reliably stop. However, due to the above bug, the first thread will often end up consuming group_stop_count multiple times and SIGSTOP often ends up stopping none or part of the other four threads. This patch adds a new field task->group_stop which is protected by siglock and uses GROUP_STOP_CONSUME flag to track which task is still to consume group_stop_count to fix this bug. task_clear_group_stop_pending() and task_participate_group_stop() are added to help manipulating group stop states. As ptrace_stop() now also uses task_participate_group_stop(), it will set SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED if it completes a group stop. There still are many issues regarding the interaction between group stop and ptrace. Patches to address them will follow. - Oleg spotted duplicate GROUP_STOP_CONSUME. Dropped.

This is a remnant from ancient ptrace implementation and patently wrong. Commit 95a3540d (ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic) removed it but the change was reverted later by commit edaba2c5 (ptrace: revert "ptrace_detach: the wrong wakeup breaks the ERESTARTxxx logic") citing compatibility breakage and general brokeness of the whole group stop / ptrace interaction. Then, recently, it got converted from wake_up_process() to wake_up_state() to make it less dangerous. Digging through the mailing archives, the compatibility breakage doesn't seem to be critical in the sense that the behavior isn't well defined or reliable to begin with and it seems to have been agreed to remove the wakeup with proper cleanup of the whole thing. Now that the group stop and its interaction with ptrace are being cleaned up, it's high time to finally kill this silliness.

If SIGCONT is received while the child process is stopped, the code should be CLD_CONTINUED. If SIGCONT is recieved while the child process is in the process of being stopped, it should be CLD_STOPPED. Which code to use is determined in prepare_signal() and recorded in signal->flags using SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED|STOP flags. get_signal_deliver() should test these flags and then notify accoringly; however, it incorrectly tested SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED instead of SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED, thus incorrectly notifying CLD_CONTINUED if the signal is delivered before the task is wait(2)ed and CLD_STOPPED if the state was fetched already. Fix it by testing SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED. While at it, uncompress the ?: test into if/else clause for better readability.

It causes exceptions and long delays in the disk driver, which gets read requests at the time it tries to shut down the disk. This patch disables all kernel-forked processes during reboot to allow a clean poweroff.

If irqs are disabled, don't dive into the RCU core. Later on, this new early exit will wake up the per-CPU kthread, which first must be modified to handle the cases involving callback storms.

So nice to 19 in rcu_yield() to help ensure that other tasks have a better chance of running. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time. The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue. Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than 4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu(). If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu() or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the first 4096 bytes. Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example, to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu(). The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows: call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback); where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows: void simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p) { struct foo *q = container_of(p, struct foo, rcu); kfree(q); } with the following: kfree_rcu(&p->rcu, rcu); Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type checking.
